Swimming is an excellent way to keep fit! Many people enjoy it and several limb users are forming the swimming group. If you are interested in being part of the swimming group please contact Steve Woodward (contact numbers below) or contact us (left):

Aquatics Centre address:

The Manchester Aquatics Centre
2 Booth Street East (off Oxford Road)
Ardwick
Manchester
M13 9SS

There are disabled parking spaces at the front of the building. You will need to enter Booth St East from Oxford road and turn left into the front entrance. Otherwise there is a multistory car park across the road.

Sessions are held in the training pool (which is completely private). As this pool tends to be cool (as a team trains in it) we may eventually want to move up into the diving pool (the bottom can be raised), which, although it will be exclusive to us, can be seen by others at the venue.

 

People will need to arrive in plenty of time to get changed. There will be 2 trainers. Sessions will be geared towards what everyone wants. Better swimmers can have a lane cordoned off whereas non-swimmers can be taught. People can have a serious swim or just splash about! A hoist will be available for those who want/need it.
